Assessing Assets
If you're starting to plan your estate and trust, the first step is assessing your assets. This includes investments, real estate, businesses, and any other properties you own. It's crucial to have an accurate and up-to-date assessment of your assets to ensure that your wishes are fulfilled. Our team of CPAs can help you through this process and provide you with the most accurate assessment of your assets. With our help, you can ensure that your estate and trust planning is done right.
Drafting A Will
At HHA Accounting, we understand how important it is to ensure that your wishes for the distribution of your estate and trust are legally binding and will be upheld in court. That's why our experienced CPAs can help you draft a tailored will that meets your specific needs. A will is a crucial legal document that outlines your wishes for how your property, assets, and other possessions should be distributed after your death. It should be drafted with the assistance of a lawyer or CPA. The next step in estate and trust planning is to draft a will — and we're here to help.
Naming Beneficiaries
Once you have drafted your will, naming beneficiaries is essential. Beneficiaries are the individuals or entities to whom you wish to leave your assets, and it is important to define each one clearly. Our team of CPAs can help you make sure that your beneficiaries are correctly identified and that their rights are protected in the will. We know how important it is to ensure that beneficiaries can enjoy the benefits of your assets, so let us help you make sure that your beneficiaries are correctly named and that their rights are safeguarded.
Setting Up A Trust
The final step in estate and trust planning is setting up a trust. A trust is a legal entity that holds assets and is used to manage them for the benefit of others. It can be used for various reasons, such as managing assets for minor children or tax planning. Our team of certified accountants can help you set up your trust and provide guidance and advice on managing your assets. With the help of our experienced professionals, you can be sure that your assets are in good hands.
